Loved working with Topsy Page yesterday to facilitate Oracy Cambridge workshops for colleagues from Bexley, Sutton and Southwark as part of London's Violence Reduction Unit's Talk Matters programme. Oracy, and perhaps dialogue in particular, has such an important role to play in violence reduction.

Oracy is a field that matters across every single subject. In a new episode of Brighter Futures, Oracy Cambridge's Alan Howe, and EDT’s Dr Nicky Platt and Dr Jim Rogers (Dr Jim Rogers) join us to discuss how we implement it into the wider curriculum: ow.ly/LUH550U6QN7

Love this blog from Alan Howe for Oracy Cambridge. It got me thinking about the interaction between exploratarory / dialogic talk, presentational talk and debate, and about the ways in which they can complement each other as part of the teaching and learning process.

James A. Furey I’m happy to be able to fully agree on all of this! If you don’t know about it Oracy Education Commission did a whole range of podcasts recently on Oracy, published a pamphlet & great report. Voice 21 Oracy is a valuable source of ideas, as is Oracy Cambridge.


Wonderful to hear about Research Lesson Study from Pete Dudley Oracy Cambridge this afternoon. A step by step guide on how to approach this and use it to support oracy development in school. Thanks to all practitioners who have attended across the Excelerate network,
